Google is late to the party. Even Microsoft had such an app years ago.
- They rolled it into the rather clunky Office Mobile app some time ago (now called Microsoft 365)
  
  There is a standalone app, Microsoft Lens. Surprisingly good app.

I can't figure out how to enable the document scanner by default. I can only get it to work by pointing my camera at something and waiting for it recognize that it might be a document and then ask if I want to scan it.
- Google Drive app -> New (in the bottom right corner) -> Scan. It's not supposed to be a part of the camera app, that's just a useful shortcut.

My Oppo Reno z has had this for a couple years now, baked into its camera app.
- Thanks to your comment I discovered my Oppo Reno has a document scanner!
